Predation Pressure of Invasive Marsh Frogs: A Threat to Native Amphibians?
Diversity, 2021 Anurans have been introduced in many parts of the world and have often become invasive over large geographic areas. Although predation is involved in the declines of invaded amphibian populations, there is a lack of quantitative assessments evaluating ...

Stress Assessment of Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) in Corral-Style Traps Using Serum Cortisol Levels
Animals, 2022 Capture of wild boar in corral-style traps with subsequent culling is increasingly used for population management. The method is debated due to animal welfare concerns making welfare studies in traps necessary. While previous studies focused on behaviour

Empirical Evidence for the Rescue Effect from a Natural Microcosm
Animals, 2023 Ecological theory predicts that populations which receive immigrants are less vulnerable to extinction than those that do not receive immigrants (the “rescue effect”). A parallel but opposite process may also exist, where emigration increases the risk of
